Mother Science, a biotech skincare brand, has recently released its second product, Retinol Synergist. The formula of this product contains a patented ingredient called Malassezin which has been combined with retinol.
After six years of rigorous research, extensive laboratory studies, and four clinical trials, Mother Science has published data on their product in peer-reviewed dermatology journals including the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology 2021 and the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology 2022.
The innovative molecule Malassezin has been scientifically proven to be ten times more potent an antioxidant than vitamin C. It helps protect the skin from free radical damage, visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve the skin’s moisture barrier.
Further studies have shown that Malassezin and retinol have complementary effects on the skin but work through different pathways. This leads to additive, synergistic effects resulting in enhanced results when used together. The calming properties of Malassezin and its support of the skin barrier help reduce irritation and minimize retinization period allowing for stronger product that can quickly reduce look of fine lines and wrinkles with less discomfort.
In a clinical trial after using Retinol Synergist for four weeks participants reported firmer skin, minimized fine lines and wrinkles, radiant skin smoother looking youthful-looking skin with gentle effects on their skin. The product is available for purchase at $96 on Mother Science’s website.
